Watchmen (TV Series) - Timeline

Suggested

Not a bad one either really. It's quite sound logically.

Ah, sorry about that, it actually makes sense in retrospect considering they were both made by DC Studios

But didn't Before Watchmen also debunk that Rolf Müller wasn't Hooded Justice?

But in what way is the backstory incompatible though?

He DIED in Before Watchmen. His neck was snapped.

 

[iceman109]

I think something we should keep in mind though is that they were made by two completely different production teams

 

[Pro Bot]

The animated movies? The reason for the suggestion was due to Hooded Justice's race matching the TV show rather than the original comic timeline where he was white.

Watched Chapter 2 of the animated one. It doesn't contradict with the TV show at all.

Is it a 1:1 comic adaptation?

minus the black Hooded Justice

What about stuff like the cars though? They are all retro futuristic and what not in 1985 but in 2019 they resemble what we have today

those exist in the comic as well

I know that but regular 80s cars didn't exist in the Watchmen universe why wouldn't they carry on the car designs into 2019 unless it's a Fallout situation where they used real life cars in the show but in the games they are fictional

The technological luddism spawning from the new York disaster is a major plot point of the show

So I watched and I wouldn't personally use it as background for the TV show unless I can't be bothered reading the comic

They explicitly said the comic was canon to the show and there's more than enough deviations to disqualify it, especially part 2.

Is good tho, don't understand the hate I've seen for it on socials
